The accents of people who drink Luckin Coffee are so distinctive that you can immediately tell they are so-called "new Hong Kongers" who were not born in Hong Kong. 話會飲個啲人講嘢嘅口音一聽就知係新香港人。instagram.com/reel/DSKkdh3jJ…

Note to western journalists: don’t suck up PRC propaganda. Bamboo scaffolding is widely regarded as safe - a craft in Hong Kong of which they’re rightly proud. Early indications are that the netting was the cause of this tragedy.
I don’t quite understand where does this “bamboo scaffolding led to the fire” come from. The bamboos scaffolding after the fire is still mainly intact. It’s the netting that’s flammable, not the bamboo scaffolding. It started with the netting, as multiple videos show.

Crazy! I found this job advertisement on JobsDB. A job in #HongKong specifies that Communist Party members are given priority. 依個痴線,一份香港嘅工作,指明要共產黨員優先。 hk.jobsdb.com/shandong-jobs/… – at Kwun Tong District, Hong Kong

The #HongKong History Centre at the University of #Bristol restricted comments on this FB post less than 24 hrs after it was posted, only allowing those who have followed their page for over 24 hours to comment. This restriction only applies to this post. What are they afraid of? – at Bristol, England

I was just refused entry to Hong Kong. After 13 sleepless hours under immigration examination in the middle of the night, I was told that I could not enter the city and was eventually allowed to take a plane to Vietnam, where I planned to go only in a couple of days.

A’ chiad Rùnaire Caibineit airson Gàidhlig a-riamh ann an Alba (chan e ministear òg). Cha toil leam an SNP. Ach is e gluasad fàilte a tha seo. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I'm certainly not a supporter of the SNP, but this is a welcomed move to have the first cabinet minister for Gaelic in Scotland.

My review of Chris Patten's Hong Kong Diaries is now published by Revue Française de Civilisation Britannique. I still have no idea why an academic journal would ask me to review this book, which is literally a diary. journals.openedition.org/rfc… #HongKong #Diaries #ChrisPatten
